It seems that from a few streets away, there is a noisy sound coming from a distance.

Kondo and Liu Quan glanced in that direction at the same time.Kondo then turned to Izumi Yanagi with one of the most unflappable smiles on his face.

"Go, Mr. Xueye. Remember my request, go find A Sui."

"Give him my letter, and he will understand my choice."

Liu Quan's fingertips paused, and carefully tucked the letter into his arms.

"I will definitely hand it over to the deputy chief." She said solemnly, after thinking about it, she added: "The spirit of the Shinsengumi will surely be passed on for thousands of years."

This is almost like a spoiler statement.But in Isamu Kondo's view, it was just the last words of comfort from his capable subordinates before his death.

However, he was open-minded by nature, and he laughed when he heard the words, and replied: "Yes, I also firmly believe that."

His eyes drifted to the eaves beside him, indicating that she could leave now.

However, Liu Quan felt that it was really difficult for him to escape, leaving the good old director here alone to face the vicious enemy soldiers and the imminent death.

"Mr. Kondo..." She hesitated, and called him again.

Kondo looked at her in surprise, and found that there was hesitation, pain and struggle in her eyes, and there was a trace of clarity - it was the realization that her power was too small to save his fate, but she was unwilling to abandon her companions I left with the leader, knowing that it will be difficult for me to face myself and other companions in the future, so reason and emotion are tug-of-war.

...It is almost exactly the same as the look A Sui showed when he led the other team members to grit their teeth and leave in Liushan.

He smiled and sighed.

"Mr. Xueye, please show your courage, as always." He said.

He saw tears flickering in the big bright eyes of the girl in front of him.

For some reason, he felt empty and calm in his heart.Looking at the girl, Kondo smiled subtly.

"Also... Xueye-kun, I still believe that as long as you treat people with sincerity from the bottom of your heart, then, 'Your kindness will be rewarded', huh?"

Liu Quan: "...Huh?!"

Kondo had already turned around, and stood at the end of the alley, facing the only entrance of this dead-end alley, straightened his body, and was as calm as a mountain.

"This is the advice I, Isamu Kondo, can give you as the head of the Shinsengumi."

"Go find Ah Sui, now!" He suddenly shouted sharply.

Liu Quan was so frightened by his sudden sternness that he shivered subconsciously.

Then she really realized Kondo's determination, so she stopped hesitating, took two steps back as a run-up, and then galloped up, stepping on the steps and window frames of the houses by the side of the road, and then raised her hand to pull the eaves of the house, turning over lightly Just jumped up.

This series of movements is like flowing water, with the assistance of [Advanced Lightness Kung Fu], it is almost dazzling.

Then he saw her poking her head out from the roof again, looking down at the alley below, as if she still had a trace of unwillingness and pain.

He coughed.

"Please tell Ah Sui, Shinsengumi and the future, please."

After she nodded heavily in silence, and then resolutely turned and left, Kondo straightened her body a little more.

To be like a samurai, to face one's own end uprightly, this is the demeanor that a general should have.

However, at this moment...it seems a bit inappropriate to think of the past.

He remembered that the first time he killed someone was in the countryside of Tama, when thieves came to rob the money of the neighbors, and he and A Sui happened to be there.At that time, he was still hesitant, but Ah Sui jumped out so bravely, but he could only stand there, watching Ah Sui fight bravely with the other party...

At that time, in fact, Ah Sui had only learned swordsmanship for a short time, so he was not very proficient, right?But this is Ah Sui's style, when he has no confidence in winning, he still fights bravely for his belief...

Later, Ah Sui dropped the wooden knife during the fierce battle. In order to save Ah Sui, he made up his mind in an instant, jumped out quickly, and swung the knife at the vicious thief.

Speaking of which, Ah Sui worked so hard at the time because of him.Because the thieves shot him in the arm.Although there was no serious problem, Ah Sui immediately went crazy, dragging a wooden knife like that, and rushed up bravely...

He, it was the first time to kill someone at that time, and he couldn't adapt to the feeling of someone dying because he drew a knife.Also, the feeling of blood splattered on his face and hands... Although he knew that he was doing the right thing——

Later, what did A Sui's elder brother, Mr. Wei Jiro, say to him?

Weijiro-kun said: In front of the knife, people are equal, and in the end only those who have a strong desire to survive can survive.

Although Mr. Weijiro cannot see with his eyes, his state of mind is very clear... He himself said: I can't see with my eyes, but there are things I can see because of it.It is precisely because you don't have to look at irrelevant things that you can feel important things...

However, it is too late to realize all this.Everyone, because of looking at some irrelevant things, gradually lost their original intentions along the way, and forgot what is the most important thing to them...

Didn't he vow at the beginning that he would lead the companions, friends and loyal children of the test hall to open up a glorious road for everyone to serve the country with lofty ideals?But then, what happened?

Shannan-kun became a Rakshasa, Hirasuke became a Rakshasa, Gensang sacrificed, the trusted general surrendered to the rebel of the chief Sa and sacrificed the loyalty of the Shinsengumi... Shinpachi left, Harada left, Now he has to leave too - and the chief executive who is recuperating in Edo, he is still a big boy, he is so talented in swordsmanship, and a pure-hearted kid...but he has a disease that may not heal, such as labor cough ...

In the end, will Ah Sui be the only one left...?

Kondo suppressed a sigh that was about to escape, and smiled at the flames and figures that were approaching outside the alley.

Will not.

There will be people who trust Ah Sui deeply and are willing to follow him, and will follow him to the end.

Isn't Saito still alive?Now, there is this girl who has not been with them since the time of the test guards until now, but she is deeply trusted and hoped for. They all have strong abilities and strong hearts, no matter how many people will abandon them. The Shinsengumi will lose confidence in the Shinsengumi, and they will always be with Ah Sui, holding high the Shinsengumi's sincerity flag, to the end, right?

However, it is impossible for Liu Quan to know all these inner activities of Kondo.

Now, she is running through the alleys of Edo.

It seemed that they had received the order to "bring Miss back together" from that person. Those who held torches and clamored for her and Kondo did not all flock to the dead end where Kondo was.

After running a certain distance, I heard someone yelling "here!! Isamu Kondo is here!!" from somewhere behind, but then someone yelled "Why are you alone?! The one who is walking with you Where did the woman go?!".

Kondo would not answer their question at all.So those people clamored and separated some people, and continued to scatter around and search wantonly.

...don't go back!Don't ever see that person who makes you feel a creeping hatred and nausea again! !

Apart from the impression that Kondo's execution date seemed to be in April, there was one other thing that prompted Liu Quan to make the decision to escape.

One day, she survived another day in the torment of anxiety, despair and anger in her heart. In the middle of the night, sleepiness managed to overcome these negative emotions that had tortured her for a long time, and she fell asleep.

She also really needed this period of rest—since she was under house arrest, she couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and soon became haggard, pinched by exhaustion and anxiety, and her eye sockets were almost sunken.

However, whether it is to fight openly, escape, or even continue to deal with that ghost beast Nisan, it requires a lot of energy and physical strength.So sleep is required.

... But she had just slept for a while, and after having countless bizarre and unrelated dreams, she suddenly woke up from the dream for some reason.

The next moment she stood there stunned—then her body reacted subconsciously, wanting to turn over like lightning and go to the bed to grab the knife that should have been there—

However, it caught a blank!

Only at this time did her consciousness wake up slowly and half-fearfully, thinking that she was already in the private residence of the Jiutiao family, and the sword was confiscated at the beginning of the house arrest, and now she is absolutely unarmed!

In the next second, the black figure lying sideways next to her caught her moment of stupefaction, turned over and half-pressed her with his body!

... To be honest, if she hadn't reacted quickly just now and turned over to the other side to grab her sword, now she would be firmly pressed down by the other party, and there will be a situation where Suowen needs to be cleaned up. Little yellow card plot! !

However, even though only half of her body was being suppressed by the other party, she also felt a burst of horror and nausea. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and stared angrily in the dark at the one who dared to sneak into her room in the middle of the night and attack at night—the flower picker!

"...What are you doing here, brother?!" She managed to squeeze out a word between her teeth.
